Truck Accidents

In an article which appeared in the New York Times, the writer states that more people will die in truck-related accidents this year than those who have died in all of the domestic commercial airline crashes over the past 45 years if past trends hold true. The truck crash that left comedian Tracy Morgan critically injured, and his fellow comedian, Jack MacNair dead and eight others critically wounded will continue to occur in increasing numbers due to lack of regulations and enforcement of safe driving practice for truck drivers.

More cargo is being moved every year. And trucks continue to be the main source of moving that cargo. Because of the exponential increase in the size of the cargo being moved, truck crashes cause increasingly greater damage.

According to an article that appeared in Forbes Magazine, of the 6 million vehicle crashes that occurred in the U.S. in 2014, 476,000 involved large trucks and buses — a 22% increase from the previous year. And the heavier the trucks, the more serious the outcome of these accidents. These types of serious accidents are on the rise each year as more trucks are on the road than ever before, carrying heavier loads of cargo. When you are involved in a truck accident it is very important to get all the information so you can file an accident claim. There may be several different entities responsible such as:

Truck Owner

Truck Driver

Owner of Cargo

I was involved in a very serious car accident in Brooklyn that left me unable to work for two years. I still have pain in my lower back after I underwent surgery for my injuries. Attorney Tzaneteas helped me through the legal process and worked up my case so thoroughly that the insurance company offered us a very fair settlement without having to go trial. Tzaneteas really gets results.

I was run off the road while making a delivery on my bike in New York City. I had two broken ribs and a broken wrist. Attorney Tzaneteas got me in to see a doctor right away and made sure the insurance company covered all my medical bills and lost wages from all the work I missed.
